A plan to prevent the coming food shortage. As usual, it involves deregulation.

The Food Supply
Red tape continues to need cutting. Food labeling remains stupid, particularly in terms of calorie counting. And Schumer continues to be a derriere fedora.
The FDA Strikes Again
People with Apple watches could be monitoring their oxygen levels, but the regulators require that the ability be disabled for users. This is classic regulatory capture by the industry.

They’ve retracted:
Effects Of Lockdown
Two California doctors say that it doesn’t reduce the number of deaths.

Brave Reuters Journo
…is super pissed that the Free Beacon did the MSM’s job for them.
Nutrition Labels
Why there’s a frozen-fry shortage.
Nutrition labels, to the degree that they provide calorie information, are worse than useless, because calorie counting is stupid. FDA should not only suspend them, but eliminate them.
Ventilators
Nearly everyone put on them in New York died.
So much for “life saving.” Of course, the problem is that by the time it’s so extreme that they decide to put you on one, it’s probably too late. But this shows that the ventilator panic was probably pointless.
We’re learning rapidly how to deal with this, but we’ve unfortunately lost a lot of unwilling guinea pigs. It reminds me of what I say in the book: Every aviation regulation is written in blood. People always have to die or be injured for us to learn.
New York Patients
Nearly all of them had underlying conditions.
Of all of these, I only have hypertension (which I think is vastly overdiagnosed, andoverrated as a risk). And since only 6% had only one, I’d think it’s unlikely that hypertension by itself is that big a risk, so despite my superannuated condition, I’m not that personally concerned.
